First release.

At install, LocalPulse asks only for the permissions listed in the README; site access and the tabs
list are optional and requested when a feature needs them.

Added

  • Side panel. Chat about the current page, with quick actions: Summarize, Key points, Explain
    code, Simplify, Action items, Translate and Compare.
  • AI providers, most private first:
    • the browser's built-in model, summarizer and translator (Chrome, Edge);
    • Ollama, LM Studio and llama.cpp;
    • in-browser models (WebLLM: Llama 3.2 1B and 3B, Qwen 3.5 2B);
    • OpenAI-compatible cloud APIs with your own key (Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, Mistral, Hugging
      Face, OpenAI, custom).
  • Privacy:
    • consent before any page goes to a cloud provider;
    • the provider is shown on every answer;
    • Local-only mode and never-send sites;
    • emails, phone numbers and card numbers in the page hidden before it goes to the cloud;
    • follow-up questions take earlier answers to a cloud provider only from pages allowed for it.
  • Long pages read in parts; questions answered from the most relevant sections.
  • More content:
    • PDFs (open in a tab or dropped into the panel);
    • YouTube transcripts;
    • GitHub files and pull requests;
    • several tabs at once.
  • Right-click actions on selected text, with Proofread and Rewrite that can replace the text in
    the page's field.
  • Checked quotes: quotes in answers are looked up on the page, and missing ones are flagged.
  • Continue in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity: the question is copied and the site
    opens; you paste it and press Send.
  • Custom quick actions, with import and export, and a community pack.
  • Local history with Markdown export; tables download as CSV.
  • Everywhere: light and dark themes, translatable interface, and a Firefox version (without
    in-browser models).
